Paolo Scheggi

Intersuperficie curva

1966

Paolo Scheggi's *Intersuperficie curva* (1966) is a striking example of the Italian artist's innovative exploration of three-dimensionality and spatial perception. Constructed from three superimposed canvases painted in white acrylic, the work features carefully cut curved apertures that reveal the layered depths beneath, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the sculptural quality of the composition, inviting the viewer to engage with the painting as an object that exists between painting and architecture.
